Nearly 90 veterans took part in the 28th Flag City Honor Flight, traveling from Toledo, Ohio, to Washington, D.C., in September to visit memorials dedicated to their service.Sponsored by Marathon Petroleum, employees served as guardians, helping the veterans experience the impact of their service firsthand during this memorable journey.The visit included the Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Memorial), Korean War Veterans Memorial, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, WWII Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.

Nearly 90 veterans took to the sky on a mission to celebrate their incredible sacrifice for our country. Organized by Flag City Honor Flight, this journey took them from Toledo, Ohio, to Washington, D.C., where they visited memorials built in their honor.

“The gratitude I have—it’s just hard to put into words,” said Craig Laubender, a Vietnam War veteran, reflecting on the experience he shared with his son, Ben Laubender, a personal safety professional at Marathon Petroleum and a veteran himself. “My dad never received the welcome home he deserved after Vietnam. This was everything he absolutely deserved. Being with my dad—who always puts others before himself—created a memory of a lifetime.”

Joined by Ben’s son and Craig’s grandson, the three generations of Laubenders participated in this unforgettable trip alongside a total of 87 veterans, many of whom were from the Vietnam War era. The day included visits to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Memorial), the Korean War Veterans Memorial, the WWII Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, where the Laubenders had the honor of laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

“I don’t think it fully sunk in how much this impacts you until you see it in person,” Ben said. “Ending the day at that final moment for those unknown soldiers was something that touched my soul. Being there with my dad and my son was everything to us.”

“My dad never received the welcome home he deserved after Vietnam. This was everything he absolutely deserved.”

Organized and sponsored by HONOR, Marathon Petroleum’s Veterans employee network, this marked the Findlay chapter’s 28th flight and the third of four trips scheduled for 2024. Employees from Marathon Petroleum served as guardians, enhancing the veterans’ experience and helping them witness the impact of their service firsthand during the tour of the memorials.

“Flag City Honor Flight has been providing our area’s veterans with these extraordinary opportunities for years, and we are proud to support them in their mission,” said Ashley Goecke, Advanced Community Relations Representative at Marathon Petroleum. “Marathon and its employees are grateful for our veterans’ service, and we consider it a privilege to help make these flights possible.”

This flight was made possible through a grant from Marathon Petroleum and proceeds raised from HONOR’s annual Spirit of Freedom 5K Run, Walk, Ruck. Held each October outside Marathon’s Findlay campus, the event supports local veteran programs, including the Flag City Honor Flight, which is 100% volunteer-run and raises all the funds needed to cover veterans’ trips, making the experience more accessible to those interested in applying.

“Thank you, Marathon, for your continued support and for proudly sponsoring our flight—we couldn’t do it without you,” said Steve Schul, Flag City Honor Flight Board President. “These flights celebrate the resilience, bravery and enduring bonds among these heroes.”

Upon their return to Ohio, the veterans were treated to a welcome home celebration, sending them home with one more reminder of our appreciation for their service and sacrifices for our country.

New innovation harnesses the power of artificial intelligence in a wearable IoT device for real-time heart monitoring

November 11, 2024 /3BL/ – Lenovo, in partnership with the Instituto do Coração – InCor HCFMUSP – the largest cardiology hospital in Latin America – announces the launch of TRAdA (from portuguese Telemonitoramento Remoto Assistido de Arritmia), an innovative platform that assists in the identification of arrhythmia events. It leverages the power of artificial intelligence in a wearable IoT device for real-time heart monitoring.

In Brazil, over 20 million people suffer from some form of cardiac arrhythmia, a condition responsible for more than 320,000 sudden deaths each year in the country, according to data from the Sociedade Brasileira de Arritmias Cardíacas (SOBRAC). This makes effective monitoring and early intervention crucial. Through a discreet and comfortable wearable device, TRAdA continuously monitors heartbeats and the heart’s electrical signals, using advanced AI algorithms to identify potential arrhythmia events in real time. During telemonitoring, critical alerts are sent to a designated monitoring panel, allowing healthcare professionals to have an overall view of the patient and to intervene quickly and efficiently.

Technologically validated within InCor through 3 clinical development steps involving 253 participants, TRAdA has proven to be a comprehensive and innovative technological solution for remote patient monitoring and care. In step 3 of the project, a proof of concept was carried out to test the solution in 51 patients in the postoperative period of cardiovascular surgery, aiming to identify the occurrence of arrhythmias when the patient was in their home environment. Once again, TRAdA demonstrated its effectiveness by identifying arrhythmia episodes and generating alerts that allowed for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

The critical 72-hour period after hospital discharge, identified by Brazilian cardiac research, is particularly vulnerable to complications, and Lenovo’s solution offers essential support during this window. “We see an opportunity in a significant and untapped market in Brazil to prove a more cost-effective and efficient arrhythmia risk management solution. We believe that this innovative approach will not only contribute to saving lives but also enhance healthcare system resources by helping to reduce costs and improve the quality of care.” explains Ricardo Bloj, President of Lenovo Brazil.

Through its commitment to scientific rigor, technological innovation, and a patient-centered approach, Lenovo aims to revolutionize arrhythmia detection and treatment, saving lives and improving the quality of life for millions of people worldwide. “After successful market validation in Brazil, we plan to expand our solution to new markets in Latin America over the next two years, ensuring that our system is adapted to the specific demographics and regulatory landscape of each region,” he says.

“Innovation in healthcare is not just about new ideas, products, and solutions, but also about how we can integrate them into patient care and overcome present challenges of patient engagement in their treatment journey, such as the remote monitoring of physiological parameters that identify potential arrhythmias. If these events are diagnosed more quickly, preventive and corrective actions can be taken early, ultimately resulting in greater patient safety. This is one of the key motivators for this partnership with Lenovo – to create collaborative bridges that foster synergistic innovation” comments TRAdA project lead researcher, Prof. Fabio B. Jatene, VP of InCor and coordinator of InovaInCor.

Explored Experiences

Vitória – 26 years old, no prior history of cardiovascular disease

In February 2024, during the clinical Phase 2 of the TRAdA project, the patient was remotely monitored for 7 days and spontaneously reported a symptom of “palpitation” through a symptom reporting app. The clinical team, upon identifying a correlation between the electrocardiographic signal registered on the platform and the symptom report, conducted a teleconsultation for evaluation. Subsequently, the medical team identified that the patient had supraventricular tachycardia, leading to a recommendation for an ablation procedure to correct the arrhythmia. One month after the intervention, the patient was asymptomatic, with no further complaints.

Adão – 56 years old, with associated comorbidities, no prior history of arrhythmia

After treating mitral insufficiency at InCor and undergoing a successful surgery in February 2024, the patient was included in the TRAdA Project, receiving home telemonitoring for 15 days. During the telemonitoring, he reported palpitations via the study’s app, leading to a teleconsultation and subsequent referral to the hospital, where atrial fibrillation was confirmed. The patient required hospitalization and during this stay, he was promptly diagnosed with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), a serious condition that can be related to the detected arrhythmia. The telemonitoring allowed for rapid and targeted intervention, highlighting the importance of this technology in post-surgical care.

Vera Lúcia – 64 years old, with prior comorbidities and a history of immediate postoperative arrhythmia

The patient was hospitalized at InCor for cardiovascular surgery and, during the procedure, suffered a cardiac arrest requiring resuscitation. Near the end of the surgery, she experienced an atrioventricular block, resulting in slow and irregular heartbeats, requiring a temporary pacemaker to stabilize the rhythm. In the ICU, she also presented atrial flutter, an arrhythmia that accelerates the heartbeat, successfully corrected by cardioversion. After discharge, she was monitored at home for 15 days, during which an alert indicated an episode of atrial fibrillation, leading to her referral to the InCor Emergency Room, where the diagnosis was confirmed and treated. Due to the event, the telemonitoring was extended for another 15 days, at the end of which the patient reported symptom improvement and no new complications.
